The first step (blue outline) is to start with two small circles. These are the ladybug beetles eyes, so this is the middle of your own ladybug. You will then create a curved line from the middle of the top of one eye to the other top of the middle of the other eye. This is creating the top of the head. Then draw a second curved line side of one eye to the other side of the eye creating a U shape.

The next step is to create the shell. Start by drawing a small line out from the side of the ladybug's head and then create a rainbow shape line around the head and then back in on the other side of the face.

The next step is to draw small legs coming out of the bottom portion of the shell that we drew in the previous step. First pair of legs on one side and the second on the other side.

The next step is to draw on the spots on the shell and the antennas. First, draw a straight line in the middle of the shell from the top of the head to the top of the arch of the shell. Then draw small circles on each side of the shell to mark the ladybug spots. Draw the antennas out the top of the head with a small circle on the end of each of the antennas.

The last step in drawing a simple ladybug is to add eyes and a small smile. You can create the eyes with small circles inside the larger eyes. Make the smile in a half-smile or simple u in the middle of the face.

Last, but certainly not least, color in your sweet simple ladybug. We like going over our drawings with a black marker to make my drawing stand out. Then we start coloring. We of course with the bright red colored ladybug with tiny black spots, but you color yours in with your own creativity.
